CHARGING

Charge the battery before first use and at least once every two months to keep it fresh and capable of holding a full charge. We recommend that you charge the speaker for about 10 minutes prior to use, if it has been unused for at least 7 days.

  1. Plug one end of the included Micro USB Charging Cable into the Micro USB Charging Port on the speaker, then plug the other end into a USB power source, such as a wall charger, power bank, computer, etc. (available separately). The LED Indicator will illuminate solid red, indicating that charging is in progress.
  2. When charging is complete, the LED Indicator will turn off.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING

  1. Press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to turn the speaker on. When the speaker is first powered on, it will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode and the LED indicator will flash white, indicating that it is in Bluetooth pairing mode. If the speaker is already paired to a device and that device is powered on and within range, the speaker will attempt to reconnect to the paired device. If it cannot automatically reconnect to the paired device, you can either double press the Power Button to reconnect the device or proceed with pairing a different device.
  2. Open the Bluetooth® settings on your device and scan for nearby Bluetooth connections.
  3. Locate and select the MP4325 7 entry. If prompted for a passcode, enter 0000 (four zeros).
  4. Once connected, the LED Indicator will stop flashing and will illuminate solid white, and an audible cue will be heard.

AUX PLAYBACK

If your audio device does not have Bluetooth or if you do not want to use Bluetooth, you can listen to audio using a wired connection to the 3.5mm AUX Jack on the speaker.

  1. Plug one end of the included 3.5mm Audio Cable in the 3.5mm AUX Jack on the speaker, then plug the other end into the headphones or other analog audio output on your audio source device.
  2. Use the controls on your device to control audio playback and the volume controls on the speaker to control the volume. The playback controls on the speaker do not function with a wired connection.

MICROSD CARD PLAYBACK

This speaker features a microSDTM card slot, which can be used to play mp3 files on an inserted microSD card.

  1. With the speaker powered off, insert a microSD card with mp3 files into the microSD Card Slot. The speaker supports microSD cards with capacities up to 32GB and formatted with the FAT16 or FAT32 file system. The mp3 files on the card can be in any subdirectory.
